Around the World in rs Days.

rom tue fbohiisi4iV ipptbt
On November 26th, 1886, we de-
termined to test the old saying of
.'around the world iu so days" and
mailed a letter 10 W. r. Baker,
postmaster at this place, directed by
way Of New York, Liverpool, Con-
s~taminople, ieddo, japan, and San
Francisco. We were notified of the
dumb tourists arrival at New York,
Liverpool and Constantinople and
had about concluded it had gotten
lost in its trip from the latter place
to Yeddo as we had not heard from
it at that point. But on Sunday last
the tourist letter reached Mr.. Baker
having made the trip in just 80 days.
The way vi dad it was to enclose the
letter to Mr.. Baker in one directed to
the postmaster at San Francisco /;
that was IN one directed to the
American Consul nj Yeddo; that in
one to the American minister at Con
stan,inople; that in One to G.. G.
Vest, Jr.. clerk of the American lega.
ton at Liverpool, and that in one to
the postmaster in New York in which
shape it left this place November
26th, Sc, the one last envelope re-
turning to Boonville last Sunday
March 9th. 1887, just 80 days out.

that John NJ. Wilson, who was hanged

no doubt on this point. Therefore, is
not the second murder vastly more rep.

lT is comforting to note that no panic
has followed the passage of the Inter
state Commerce bill. The prophets of
evil have all proved false prophets.
There is no notable furry in the stock
market. The railroad men appear 10
have made up their minds to make the
lest of 1t. The iron men are confident
that 1t will have no detrimental effect
on the iron trade. Says Mr.. Blanchard,
Commissioner of the Central Traffic
Association at Chicago: Il have an
idea that the pools will help to har.
monious Interpretation of such parts of
the bill as are obscure. There Is one
thing, however, that | should like to be
emphatic about. There will certainly
be no exhibition Of spleen on the part
of the railroads. There will be no at
tempt to throw obstacles In the way of
smooth working of the bill, and no
effort TO bring the measure into dis
credit" Mr.. Evans Of the Bethlehem
Iron Company says: Business was
never better, and the talk of some people
that the Interstate Commerce bill will
check the building of railroads is bosh
The Interstate bill can't hurt anybody,

administered in way to do harm,
